Up to the year 1885 the greatest

United States in any twelve-month
was 4,o88. In 1885 the total, as re-
corded by the Publishers Weekly,
1000. Last year the record sudden,

the like period just preceding and 58S
over any former year. This is an in

previous total, of more than II per

There is anothe call from he ma

per cent. bonds for redemption. The
retirement OF United States bonds will
almost certainly come to a full stop
by midsummer through the retire,
ment of theiast 3 per cents. Then the

the surplus will come to the front in
dead earnest unless Congress shall re-

Of the millions upon millions taken

A practical railway mechanic says

last, that no locomotive a make
steam to draw and heat the cars at

of an engineer is the fear of being un-
able to draw his train up grades, be-
cause of the liability of his steamrun-

rom the engines, and if the cars must
have steam heat-by popular demand
or legislative enactment-the only
way to do will be to run a special and

Care Of the Hands.

In cool weather comes the liability to
chspped hands, and the discomfort of
these is more trying than their insight
illness. With care the hands may be
kept smooth even by those who handle
the dishcloth. For cleansing the hands
use oatmeal instead of soap, or little
ammonia or borax in the water they are
washed in. Be careful to dry them thor
oughly every time they are washed, and
then to apply little vaseline or cold
cream, wiping the hands after the appli-
cation. Oxalic acid, in weak solution,
will remove stains, or what is better,
bit of lemon, for oxalic acid is poison and
must not be permitted to touch an
abraded part of the skin. At night rub
oatmeal over the hands and wear pair
of kid gloves a size or two large. This
is especially for those who, after their
homework is done, sit down at the
piano, or occupy themselves with fine
sewing or silk embroidery.

A Washington letter to the Boston
TrGceler says The smallest man in Con-
gress is General Wheeler, of Alabama.
Wheeler is little fellow with long,
gray beard and hair that falls down al

bravest officers on the Confederate side
of ''the late npleasantness, and at one
time commanded the entire cavalry of
the South. The tallest man in Congress
is Stewart, of Texas, member of the
House. He measures fully six feet three,

House. Stewart is the long Wheeler the

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Great Mistake.

Sitting the flour and baking-powder
together, as most recipes prescribe, is a
great mistake Baking powder should
never be added until everything else is
in the dish and the mass thoroughly
beaten. The reason will be appreciated
by every thoughtful person. The mo-
ment the milk or other liquid comes in
contact with the powder effervescence
begins and by the time the dough is
ready for the oven it has entirely ceased
and the mass is likely to be as "dull,
stale, and proftless as a glass of sec
ond-hand soda-water. If all the other
ingredients are well beaten, the powder
added at the last moment, and the cake
put into the oven as hurriedly as POSI-
BILE, the process of effervescence will be
assisted by the heat and the dough will
rise in light, spongy mass. This is the
secret of the extra-fine cake and biscuit
that many non-professional housekeepers
boast of.

goes. And these people have no idea Of
labor unions, of strikes, or of doing any
better In the world. That is perhaps the
most hopeless aspect of the case. Dis
content is a spur, and may lead to work
ingmen getting a fairer share of what
they create by their toll But no Bos-
ton mechanic who should see these peo-
pie have described could consider him
self anything less than a pampered son
of nineteenth century civilization.

be raised there as easily and profitably as
in Louisiana, where it yields a net profit
of 500 an acre. The beautiful fibre from

are over 500 factories in Europe using it
for fabrics of all sorts, from coarse sail

very well, and is something
in return for the long years of isolation
on the wild and unsettled frontier; but
should it happen that the Indians in
your neighbOrhOOd become suddenly bel
ligerent, break out into open rebellion,

happily such cases are exceptions, not

is bound to come sooner or later, and
for soldier five-year enlistment is in

AN UNUSUALLY GOOD VIEW.

And so the picture might be increased,
each with its special variety of distress,
circumstance and philosophy. Several
other places were visited during the
afternoon, and two features besides the
cramped manner of living were COM
mon to all; cheap pictures on the walls;
and the present sickness of one or more
members of the family. The priest re-
peated the assurance that the cases OBJ
served and alluded to above without the
slightest color of eXaggeration were
truly representative.
''YOu have Seen," he said, 'the aver
age condition of East side people,
Space may be taken for a glimpse at
the last family visited where compare
tive luxury reigned. The people were
Hungarians. The father was baker,
who had been nearly all winter without
work. A month or two ago he secured
new situation. His eldest daughter
had also secured a place in factory
making some kind of goods, what the
mother could not say in English or the
priest understand i'll German, and she
was earning the exceptional wages of So
week. The fathers income was 81 a
week. He had to leave his home at 5
o'clock in the afternoon, cross the ferry
and walk four miles to his shop, there
remain for twelve hours at the ovens
and get back as soon after daylight for
sleep as he might. Seven days in a
week, no days off, 81 a day. The home
was neat and the mother cheerful. A
six-year-old girl romped about the room
and seemed to be happy and well fed. In
the room below their tenement ragged
tailor was cutting cloth on bench made
by balancing board across the backs of
two chairs. FRANKLIN FILE.

her five children. They counted them
selves happy in that there was win
dow in each room, but one of these
windows looked upon typical, cloth
ing-hung back yard, and the other upon
brick wall two feet distant. In the
main room was bed, stove, table. a
cupboard, a bureau and two or three
chairs. 1t was comparatively neat. and
would doubtless have been presentable
were it not for the fact that the family
washing was in progress in the same
room. The woman spoke English, and
in answer to the priests questions she
told this story:
II haven't sent the three younger
children to Sunday school, father, be-
cause they have no shoes of any kind to
wear. The oldest child, a girl of four
teen, is at work in store at 1925 a

have slipped from the memory, are on
the floor. One cannot step without
treading upon something beside the
boOrdS of the floor. There is small
stove, a boX-cupboard Gin which few
dishes are unSyStematically arranged),
and mantel-Shelf at one side of the
room. Several cheap pictures are OH
the walls. From smaller and window
less room, in equally hopeless confu-
sion, comes little child of about five
years, to stare glumly at the priest. The
woman cooking at the stove is stall
wart German, clad appropriately to her
surroundings. She smiles pleasantly
and talks with all the gusto and volu-
bility of a typical gossip. 1t is about
herself, the two children present, a
third at school. the father who died
few months ago, her work, which
surprising to say is wash
ing, but not at home, the ''going-
out-washing'' kind, the severe cold
from which she has just recovered, the
days of labor she lost by it, her inten-
ton to go to church. and so on The
priest could only nod and say ia, ia"
and Zach, ach." In the course of her
talk she apOlOgiZed for the condition of
her room, and the writer understood
from her remark that she had just
moved in and had not had time to get
settled, but the priest said on the way
down stairs that for two years she had
lived there, and that her room was
Just so, only growing worse from month
to month. ''And she always Apologies"
he added with smile.
At the very top of lofty building,
within stones throw of the water
front, was a mother and her daughter at
work making shirts. The daughter, was
about seventeen years old. and under
better circumstances she might have
been pretty. She rose with glad smile
to greet the priest, who inquired anX-
iously about her health.

said, but the reason | have not been to

tremulous voice.. 1--WE thought she
would surely die"

Further questions developed the fact
that these two, who had only themselves
to depend upon, had managed by con-
tinuOus work during the light of two
days to do ~ cents worth of work. And
they sighed as they explained that work
wrs not always steady. The girls
voice was weak, her frame thin and
wasted, her face colorless, and as the
priest and his companion went down
stairs they could only look significantly
at each other, both Silently wondering
whether she would live to take her COM
munion at church on the coming Sun
day.
Three flights up in another building
brought the visitors into tenement of
two rooms occupied by a woman and
